Yes this is possible. All that it would take is for the eye to slightly wobble to the east or west and that could possibly put the landfall off 40 to 60 miles from where it would have been expected to go. Right now it all depends on that high that it is interacting with as we speak.
The path and speed projections of the storm after landfall vary widely to the point of being worthless IMO. Anything is possible I suppose.
BTW- Hannah really looks impressive right now. Looks like an east coast hit, but who know the strength once at landfall. Next up, Ike.
The female forecaster on the weather channel just said we will be getting heavy rain Tuesday into Wednesday. She said it almost as it was a given. We'll see.
So have they moved up the projected time of landfall for Gustav? This thing looks like it is just about on land as it is now.
By the way, here is an interesting video on the 2005 season. Shows all of the storms: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0B1aqwdmj38&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0B1aqwdmj38&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
A few minutes ago, the current weatherguy on WGNO said he couldn't understand why the time projections haven't been updated.
This is gonna make landfall before sunrise... Starting to get gusts on the edge of Grande Isle at about 59, about 41 at NOLA.
